I am a Muslim, but only by name

[UmmAiman]

<b>I AM A MUSLIM, BUT ONLY BY NAME </b>

I am a Muslim, but only by name

When it comes to practicing, what a shame!

I go to friends and relatives in suit and tie

It's alright if I occasionally lie

Yes I practice, BUT when it suits me

Or more to the point, when it pleases society.

If I show my ankles, they'll point and laugh

They'll think it's too short and reckon I'm daft.

If I trim my moustache and grow the beard

They'll reckon I'm a fanatic or something weird.

If I wear the sunnah I'll get great reward

But the Kuffaar will look down on me, that I can't afford.

Yes I'm a Muslim, but only by name

I make excuses which I admit are rather lame.

Yes I'm a sane man and I'm on the right track

Who am I kidding, I feel like a right jack!

To hide my inferiority complex I protest it's unimportant

Though my heart screams to tell me I'm a blatant fraudulent

The best thing is no-one can hear what's going on inside

People think I've got it made and with my life I'm satisfied.

But I'm afraid this is a fable and it's a pure deception

I have no peace of mind but this I daren't even mention.

If I remain ignorant it's OK, 'cos then I don't have to practice

Yes I'm conniving and these are baseless evil tactics.

But I read the Kalima and I think I have Imaan

I can't help my attitude - I was placed in a Kufrstaan.

Yes I'm a Muslim, but only by name

And with my precious life I'm playing a foolish disastrous game!

I noticed that the poem was talking about the Brothers,


Here is a poem written by a Brother, A very Beautiful poem, somewhat harsh maybe........


<b>You got a scarf on your head</b>


But jeans that stick to your skin


Your stomach is revealed


You’re into the SIN


When asked what you are


Your culture you name


Muslim don’t cross your tongue


What a pity what a shame!


You take pride in the tops


That reveals your back


Cleavage not an issue


It’s with the pack


Now it’s fashion to wear the scarf


In the way you do


Julia Stiles did it in save the last dance


Now you should too!


Your hair it is styled


With the gel and the mouse


You got the hip hugging jeans


With the matching shoes


You wake up at dawn


To apply your face


So guys can pick you up


What a disgrace!


You infuriated girl


Hit the road of the west


Your born in the truth


But you observe the rest


You do the dating scene


And the kissing guys


You think they’re the world


Open your eyes


Encouraging Muslim boys


To do the same?


But it’s all-good,


With the Muslim name


At least he is Muslim


That’s what your friends say


Encouraging a ummati


In the same way


Your life revolves around him


Your heart it does the dance


Pitiful are you


Within haram romance


DON’T YOU SEE…


Life doesn’t travel


Farther than the grave


It’ll pass you faster


If the world you crave


You think your getting educated


When you hit the school


But they’re playing you like puppets


You’re the fool


And those who do fear god


Those whom you tease


When you toss in the flames


They’ll cool in the breeze


Don’t you love the prophet?


Who was stoned for you?


Whose last words were for us?


Who came with the truth


The mothers of believer


Who cast their gaze down?


The best of the women


Upon you they would frown


Disgusting girl have some shame within you


While they cast their gaze down, you stare right through


While they feared Allah, the alone the True


You think the only problem is if people see you


What would my parents say, will I be allowed out again


Society will gossip, it’ll be the end


But little do you assume about the end that is near


And if only your death and Allah you fear


But you know the truth, there’s only so much I can say


And the guilt only lasts before you go back to the way


So before you turn back and to parties you attend


There is one small thing I do recommend


No matter where you go and what you decide to do


Just remember that Allah is always around you


Fear him more than being “caught” fear him there


And when you start to realize, then you’ll start to care


And the rest of the girls will disgust you true


If it worked for me it can work for you


Taste the sweetness of the veil and cover up well


And make the hereafter your eternity in Jannah you’ll dwell


So take off the shamelessness, throw off the nudity


Be a Muslimah stand proud most of all as an ummati!
